I'm Michael Dambold. I build intelligence systems for marketing operations at a Fortune 100 company, and I never stopped being a designer.
Analyst by title, designer by training, builder by habit.
I build analytics frameworks, diagnose why performance moved, and surface risks before they turn expensive. When a partner breaks or spend starts leaking, my team is usually the first to know.
I've built measurement infrastructure and alert systems from the ground up, and I lead a distributed team that works across time zones.
I'm a photographer, the creator of the Space Barista sci-fi universe, and chairman of the American Board of Design & Research, which builds professional licensing for UX Engineers. My work has been featured in Computer Arts Magazine, and I've written for Tulsa World.
